Caution: p-Code, p-System have some prior use and perhaps
trademark  associated with them.  Now called the "Power System"
by Pecan of Brooklyn it is an interpreted OS.  

It had its origins at UCSD and is the origin of UCSD Pascal (aka
Apple Pascal).

Their p-Code (pseudo code) is portable from one machine to
another.  Their CODE file format has a field which lets the
interpreter determine the byte sex of the p-code.
